One of the main objectives for Real Madrid heading into the summer transfer window is reinforcing the central midfield position.

The Merengues opted not to sign replacements for both Toni Kroos and Luka Modric and have suffered as a result, with the current options in the squad failing to step up and meet the expectations.

Therefore, the idea is to sign a new midfielder who can dictate the tempo from the centre and provide greater control.
